Just inspected a home in 80905.

From the ground, it looked completely fine.

Up close:

• Clear hail hits on multiple slopes
• Granule loss that most people would miss
• Enough damage to justify a claim

This is exactly why a lot of homeowners miss their insurance deadline.

If you’re in or near 80905, there’s a good chance you saw the same storm on July, 06, 2025.

This is pretty much how these conversations go sometimes…

Adjuster:
“We don’t pay for non-storm related damage.”

Roofer (in his head):
“This is gonna be the one…”

Reality is somewhere in the middle.

✔️ Rot / deterioration = typically not covered
✔️ But what the storm caused, exposed, or requires to fix properly matters
✔️ And documentation is everything

This is where most homeowners get stuck—and why claims get underpaid or denied.

Own or manage a property in Colorado Springs?

After a hailstorm, the biggest mistake I see isn’t damage…
it’s missing it early.

What that leads to:

• Insurance disputes later
• Tenant complaints (leaks, staining)
• Higher out-of-pocket costs

Most roofs don’t look damaged from the ground—but that doesn’t mean they’re fine.

If you manage multi-family or rentals and had recent storms in your area, I can help you:

• Identify if it’s worth a claim
• Document damage properly
• Avoid unnecessary filings

Comment your property location or message me—happy to take a look.

Colorado Springs Homeowners:

If you want your insurance company to actually pay for storm damage instead of finding excuses to deny your claim...

Stop trusting your roof inspection to your brother-in-law with a ladder.

Here's the cold truth: Most hail damage is invisible from the ground. You think your roof is fine, insurance never comes out to inspect, then 6 months later you're dealing with leaks and paying out of pocket because you missed the claim deadline.

What I do differently:
- Professional documentation that adjusters can't dispute
- Know exactly what insurance companies look for (and what they reject)
- FREE inspections with no obligation
- Work directly with your insurance company

Fair warning: I only document real damage. If your roof is fine, I'll tell you it's fine. But if there's legitimate storm damage, I'll make sure insurance pays every penny you're owed.

Don't wait for your ceiling to start leaking.
